Abstract

Product Service Systems (PSS) can help small and medium enterprises (SME) to become environmentally and socially responsible. However, there few examples of PSS developed by SMEs and even less sustainable PSS. Design and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the main areas in the development of PSS and their integration can be used to encourage the adoption of sustainable PSS in SMEs and make them more suitable for these small businesses. Additionally, considering the development of sustainable PSS not only on an individual basis but also on an industry-wide basis can be one way of involving SME in larger systems. A case study with 16 SME is presented exploring this approach.
